Zap

After thinking about it for the past few years, I finally bit the bullet and had lasik performed on me yesterday at the Stanford Eye Laser Center.

Short version: 40 minutes of staring at a blinking red light, 4 hours of itchy/burning tears once the anesthetics wore off, a night's rest, and I currently have 20/20 in my right eye and 20/15 in my left. It'll take a few weeks for my vision to stabilize, so this may not be my final visual acuity numbers. I'm also seeing a bit of a halo around lights, which I hope will improve as my eyes recover from the surgery.

Poor Andrew... There won't be any eyeglasses for him to pull off anymore.
